"Depot"

The name "Denver and Rio Grande Western Depot (Salt Lake City)" should probably actually redirect to Salt Lake City Intermodal Hub because the intermodal hub was built on the site of DRGW's freight station (1-1.5 blocks west of the passenger station described in this article) and "depot" has much more of an implication of freight service than of passenger service even though many people seem to ignore that. Does anyone want to defend the use of the word "depot" for use in any passenger-only context (not counting passenger train maintenance "depots" like Sunnyside Yard)?

This station has, as far as I can tell, always been referred to as the "Rio Grande Depot" and is still referred to as such today, inclduing on the sign in front of it. I cannot find a single reference referring to it by another name. Sensible or not, that's its name. Jbt89 (talk) 22:14, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
